I didn’t see messages about corona isolation because she was in a bar – VG

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin left her helpline at home on Saturday. There she missed two messages about self-isolating as being in close contact with those infected with the coronavirus.

On Saturday night, two text messages were sent asking members of the Finnish government who were in close contact with the country’s foreign minister, Pekka Haavisto, to go into isolation.

The text messages were sent by the government’s security chief after Haavisto tested positive for the coronavirus on Saturday, it said. Finnish state channel Yle.

Hours after Haavisto tested positive for the virus, she set off for Helsinki. She has since complained at a press conference that she has not self-isolated:

– I’m sorry that I did not understand that I had to do this, Prime Minister Marin wrote on Facebook.
